Thanks to the technology of Apple’s Siri and Wolfram Alpha, the self-described “computational search engine,” an iPhone can answer that question. That makes it pretty much a real-life Pokédex, the holy grail for every Poké-nerd around the planet.

In the world of Pokémon, the Pokédex is a device created by Dr. Oak that works as a digital encyclopedia of Pokémon creatures. Trainers use the device when encountering a new Pokémon in the wild to get quick and accurate information on history, anatomy or other information about the creature.

Simply activate Siri, and ask “Search Wolfram for [Pokémon name]." Siri will then provide the history, characteristics, images and a bunch of other fun stuff.

The technology technically should also work on other smart phones that have voice search options, such as the Galaxy S3’s S Voice.

Siri can get confused, of course, as every iPhone owner knows. For example, searching for the Pokémon “Charmander” kept autocorrecting to “Mander.” But this can be excused. It's a freaking Pokédex. In your pocket. Just think about how your 10-year-old self would feel about that.
